Spells

Hemorrhage

Darius aims his attacks strategically, causing his target to bleed. This effect stacks up to five times. Enemies that reach max Hemorrhage cause Darius to gain Noxian Might, greatly increasing his damage.

Decimate

Cost: 30/35/40/45/50 ManaRange: 1

Darius winds up and swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the blade take more damage than those struck by the handle. Darius heals based on enemy champions hit by the blade.

Crippling Strike

Cost: 30 ManaRange: 300

Darius's next attack strikes an enemy's crucial artery. As they bleed out, their Movement Speed is slowed.

Apprehend

Cost: 45 ManaRange: 535

Darius hones his axe, passively causing his physical damage to ignore a percentage of his target's Armor. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.

Noxian Guillotine

Cost: 100/100/0 ManaRange: 460

Darius leaps to an enemy champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing true damage. This damage is increased for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target. If Noxian Guillotine is a killing blow, its cooldown is refreshed for a brief duration.

Tips

Ally tips

- Decimate is a powerful harassment ability. Strike an enemy from maximum range for the greatest effect.- Noxian Guillotine does more damage the more attacks you can land prior to it. Use Noxian Might to deal maximum damage.- Darius benefits greatly from enhanced survivability. The longer you can prolong a fight, the more powerful he becomes.

Counter Tips

- When Darius's axe grab is on cooldown, he is vulnerable to harassment attacks.- Darius's ability to escape from fights is limited. If you have an advantage against him, press your lead.

Lore

There is no greater symbol of Noxian might than Darius, the nation's most feared and battle-hardened commander. Rising from humble origins to become the Hand of Noxus, he cleaves through the empire's enemies—many of them Noxians themselves. Knowing that he never doubts his cause is just, and never hesitates once his axe is raised, those who stand against the leader of the Trifarian Legion can expect no mercy.
